Be it known that we, FREDERICK H. GOL- LINE, of the city and county ofSanFran- =cisco,'State -of California, and 'MARTINJL.

f5 Perms-r, of Berkele county of Alameda,.

' State of California, citizens of" the United .-smes; have'inventednewt-and useful I1'n," provements -.in Incinerators, of wh ch the,following'is a specification; f Our invention relates ,to a, cremator'yor roof above said. chamber havipg a charging chute {above, with doorsso disposed that the,

chute may be .fille'd. above the closed gate in the arch of: thecremating chamber,- and -a seeond'closure at the upper end of. the chutethrou h;-' which charges may beudeli vered into t e chute'fi'om a hopperor reiceiver chamber. rails beneath the discharge passage of the chuteso as to receive the materialto be destrog'e'd and this car has, gatesor shutters 'in't obottom through which the ashes maybedischargedjilito: anadjacent pit over which the caris designed to passafter the incineration is com 1ete..

The products of combustion from thecombustion chamberwill reverberate throilgh thearch 5 and the heat istherein concentrated and driven downward so as to impinge .upon thecontentsof the car 6.

.The-car 6 is constructed with wheels 7 ads, tedfto run upon rails inthe pit below :theevel of the combustion space, and said car has adouble dumpin bottom composed ofsections 8 through. which the contentsof the car may be discharged at the proper time. The rails, u on whichthe car travels, lead diieotlyout-t rough an opening in the chamberadapted to be closed by a vertically movable. door 9 and the car maytravel on said rails to any. point for: convenient discharge of theashes. Such a discliar e point is indicated as a pit'10, over which t erails vpa so' that the car may reach this point,

and when it has reached this pointthe ashes may be delivered by openingthe bottom of the car, which, as shown in Fig. 4; comprises .twoleaves.hinged in such a manner that when closed they support the contents ofthecar and when, by a turning lever or handle, as 11, these bottom-leavesare released, they willturn-into an edgewise position, as shown in 4 andallow the ashes to dischar e.

the upper part of the arch, and a ove the-line of movement of thecar, isa charge 'ing passage 12, andin line -above this is a chamber orchute lS of considerable length. T-he bottom of this byte is provided. with-.95doors- 14 wyhich set. e-to close the passage, f when desired. In .the'upper part of this chute are hingedswingin muster-m}; roof for the chuteor passage. Thesen t maybe operated by means ofa lever 16, "connectinglinks 17- and levers '18,,

and when the material to. incinerated is" brought to the furnace it maybe discharged.
